  1. How are you solving the Jack height problem?

    The included tire change kit for the R1T is sufficient for changing a tire in normal circumstances and probably many off road cases. You don’t need to buy a jack puck or use 4x4 pieces of wood. But if you buy your own jack, then you may need extra stuff.
  2. High Inverter/Outlet Battery Drain

    Yes this amount of drain seems only slightly higher than what I have seen. My numbers are similar, but with actual usage of a cooler and stove and going in and out of vehicle. I had concluded that actual usage drain was a fraction of drain of just having the outlets on. So I have purchased a...
  3. cooler recommendations please

    We have this Euhomy electric fridge/freezer: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N63CSH5 It comes with a 120V and a 12V cord. It fits under the tonneau cover and also fits (barely) in the frunk. Great, if your R1T still has the 12V outlet. I like that it has bluetooth so I can check on the...
  4. NY to Vermont camping trip with Prinsu Rack + iKamper

    Looks like an awesome trip! I’m also stealing the sticker idea. ?
  5. Camping with my custom pullout camp kitchen!

    I have this set of stainless steel pots: https://a.co/d/09bTilCp And I designed this 3d printed holder that fits snug inside to hold the lid and pot holder in place: With a simple elastic to keep the whole thing together: but right now the whole set sits in a plastic bin.
  6. Camping with my custom pullout camp kitchen!

    It is a normal case, and I attached 2 gate hinges to the bottom of the case. Then attach the hinges to the crossbars using T-slot bolts. Then I have a 3D printed thing that I used to keep the case vertical. And I unscrew it to fold the case down. I have a lock on the case, but don't have a...
  7. Camping with my custom pullout camp kitchen!

    No gun in that case. I worried that someone might think there is a free gun in there, and I should put on a sticker that says, "Don't steal me, no gun in here!" We do always have bear spray nearby, though it might be buried at the bottom of some bin....
  8. Camping with my custom pullout camp kitchen!

    that’s a great idea! We saw that faucet but thought the regular valve was fine for what we needed since the water was already right over the sink. But we never even considered storing the water elsewhere and using the faucet to bring it to the sink. Now I need to think about how this might work.
  9. Camping with my custom pullout camp kitchen!

    I've finally built The Green Machine a custom pickup bed camp kitchen to go with the RTT over the bed. We packed up the dog and spent 3 nights in the Zirkel range in northern Colorado. We have a Crua Aer 2 person RTT. Just enough room for the 2 of us and the dog. We found a nice meadow up the...
  10. Overlanding: Power Consumption & Camp Mode

    I have the Crua Aer softshell fold out RTT mounted above the pickup bed. I don’t have much of a solar setup, just two panels. No good mounting options yet. I could try and put them over the cab, but I might actually mount it under the bars and tent and above the tonneau cover. For now they...
  11. Overlanding: Power Consumption & Camp Mode

    I was averaging about 6-7% SOC loss per 24 hours on a 3 day camp trip (with the large pack). We had an induction stove, cooking for breakfast and dinner, and a Euhomy 35L electric fridge, set to about 38F degrees. We would be popping in and out of the cab and the frunk and the gear tunnel...
  12. Warning about MSW Type 52 wheel bore size

    Just posting this in case anyone does a search. I saw another post that said the MSW52 wheel had a bore size of 64.1mm that matches the R1T. The label below says otherwise. I had my local Discount Tire install MSW Type 52 wheels ordered from TireRack. They would not fit on my 2022 R1T. The...
  13. $3000 estimate for tonneau cover replacement?

    Thanks for the replies. Good to hear folks have seen a similar estimate then have it ultimately covered under warranty.
  14. $3000 estimate for tonneau cover replacement?

    Hi all, I’m getting my powered tonneau cover replaced on Tuesday at the Denver service center. They sent me the work estimate to approve and it had about a $3000 estimate for the cover replacement. I thought it would be covered under warranty? I have a relatively early VIn purchased Oct ā€˜22...
  15. MotorTrend review of a fuel saving topper

    ā€œMan, I wish my F150 Lightning looked more like the Cybertruck!ā€, said no one ever… probably. That being said, I think this thing looks better than a cybertruck.
  16. Who in CO still has a broken auto tonneau?

    I got a voicemail on 3/8 that I could schedule a service appointment to get the PTC replaced. I called them back on 3/11. By then the soonest appointment was on May 1st. I was hoping to get it fixed before my roadtrip out to see the eclipse. Oh well. my cover would work if I sprayed water in...
  17. Planning first road trip

    Is this remotely efficient from an energy or time standpoint? I never tried this myself, but I would think just going straight to the charger and plug in would be better than driving around extra. You will use some energy at the charger to get the battery to the right temp (and you can see...
  18. Preconditioning the Battery for DC Fast Charging can make big difference

    It has all the ones I’m interested in. It has most or maybe all of the major DCFC vendors. But I haven’t seen anybody do a full comprehensive review.
  19. Planning first road trip

    Yep, DCFC costs typically mean that a road trip in the Rivian is more expensive than an equivalent gas vehicle (well maybe not with high CA gas prices!). Charging at home for me is about 6c a mile, while my last road trip was about 21c a mile. One charger did charge based on time instead of by...
  20. Preconditioning the Battery for DC Fast Charging can make big difference

    2 tips: Always put your DCFC destination into your nav system, then the vehicle will turn on pre-conditioning if needed. If you are coming to your destination and need a charge, it is usually better to charge right away, instead of waiting until the next day. Especially if it is cold outside...
